The Greenville PA. Advocate-Argus review
ing the lecture course just closed IN that city,
ys'that Hon. Will Cumback was the most
practical and penetrating talker from a moral
point of view" and that no was after the heart
and won it" Col. Cumback lectured there to
audience of 200 people. The Argus says: MIR
Cumback a model lecturer. His language is
PLAIN and to the point. He is no mere fun
monger, no platform popinjay; but he speaks
for distinct purpose and that purpose is to
| show our moral delinquences and point out
the way in which TO get rid OF them. With
| such men in the lead, the platform. often de-
| voted to buffoonery will undergo a change for
| the better, and instead Of being place of
! linked nonsense long drawn OUT will be an
educator for the people in things moral and in
| tellectual."
l.
| Rev Spruile Burford. Rector of ST. Timothys
! Protestant Episcopal Church. announced yes
terday. after the morning service. that he had
| decided to resign. His last appearance in the
| pulpit will be next Sunday. Mr.. Burford has
| been seriously contemplating this step
| since Easter Monday, when his plans for the
ere ction of church practically voted
down. His relations with the parish were of a
| friendly nature, his ministry was liked and
there was not the slightest discord until the
church fever Some of the congregation
sided with him. Some of the stanchest support
of ST. Timothy's objected to the scheme be-
cause it would entail heavy mortgage and that
try to be chosen on Easter Monday would deter
mine the matter and big efforts were made by
each side to win. Contrary to custom the pas
toral party had the hour of the church meeting
changed from directly after morning service to
the hour after evening prayer. There were
hot words spoken. big vote, and the antf-new
church faction won. Mr.. Burford went away in
a few days. He is Southerner, and was staff
officer the confederate side during the war.
He had friends in Memphis. and on Sunday.
during his visit South, he preached to Calvary
Church there They offered him the rectorship.
He decided to take it, and told St Timothy's
vestry They unanimously asked him to
main. He declined. No selection of q success or
hes been made yet
